[Haskell-cafe] WolframAlpha

[Vasili I. Galchin]

Hello,


http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2009/05/01/the-secret-behind-the-computational-engine-in-wolframalpha/
<<< this is obviously a Wolfram Inc. blog so maybe not totally objective ...
but here is a snippet that speaks in Haskell's favor:

As a result, the five million lines of *Mathematica* code that make up
Wolfram|Alpha are equivalent to many tens of millions of lines of code in a
lower-level language like C, Java, or Python.
*
I am some what familiar with Mathematica and it's multi-paradigm nature
(like F#, OCaml, etc.). In any case, I would like the Haskell community to
view WolframAlpha as a challenge. For what is it worth I presently
cabalizing Swish .... Based on my reading of WolframAlpha it is a semantic
web ... i.e.  formal knowledge representation!

all Google results =>
http://www.google.com/search?q=WolframAlpha&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a


Kind regards, Vasili
